RACE FEELING IN THE SOUTH.
tHarper's Weekly.l
The question of the two races Is one of tho
most perplexing in the late Slave States.
But as their actual separation by the omipra-
ton OF either OF them is obviously in,prac-
ticaDie, ana as they must live together. the
less tnelr association is regulated by law the
petter " VIII be for both. The law, il it in
terleres, must be made by one or the other
OF tne Two races, and cannot therefore, be
satisfactory. But social intercourse regu.
iates itsei1. III there be strong desire upon
tne part OF one race not to associate with
tne otner, the other cannot insist upon asso-
ciatlon, because 1t would be impracticable.
,When, however, the association Is natural,
~ shonld be encouraged and not prohibited
Inere IL no instructive race antipathy as is
proved by children, and tho true policy In
communities where the two races coexist is
to permit the question Of the relation be-
tween them to settle itself. A superior race
certainly does not need to protect itself BY
law against an inferior. The present feel
ing IN Georgia upon both sides generally
prefers separate schools. But in the indiyid-
ual instances where the feeling does not ex-
ist It should plainly not be encouraged by

The most recent observations show that
the Chinese question, il 1t shall continue to
attract attention, is not likely to be merely a
local question. Now that the time of immi-
grafton has been shut off in the West. the
Chinese already in America are showing a
tendency to spread out to the eastward
There are barely ten thousand Cinnamon in
San Francisco now, while New York has six
thousand. The prospect of less molestation
has drawn the Chinese eastward, and now
almost every city has few orderly Mongo.

About fifteen hundred Icelanders have ar
rived in Canada this season, most of them
going to Manitoba, where there already is an
lcelandic colony of considerable size. Ice
land itself is said to be getting to be more
inhospitable land each year. The winters
seem to be growing more severe, and the hay
and grass, principal products are yielding
less and less. Snow storms of unusual Sc
verify have killed thousands Of sheep, and
Europe has been levied on for contributions
for several years to make good the losses, and
save the people from starvation. The Cana
dian minister of Agriculture, becoming
aware of this state of affairs, sent an agent
into Iceland last year, to set forth the advan-
tages of emigration to Manitoba. Some Of
the people of New Brunswick think that
their province would be better adapted to
the emigrants than Manitoba, since the Ice
lander is hay maker, a herdsman, and a
fisherman, with the qualities with which may
be developed good lumberman.
But the State of Maine is far better place
for settlers of such training as that of the
lcelander. The Pine Tree State is the place
for lumbermen, fishermen and haymakers-
so much better than any of the Provinces
that hundreds of Canadians come over the
line every year to get the good wages of the
Maine woods, hayfields and fishing schoon-
ers. Ii the Icelanders want land, we have
plenty of 1t in Maine if they want favoring
sun and showers for their hay crops there is
no better place than Maine for them; If they
want long winters that will stir the old
Morse blood and bring welcome memories of
the loved Iceland home, Maine can afford
those too; and finally, If they hope to keep
alive in new home the spirit of their yik-
ing ancestors, they may have places on Port
land fishing schoOners bound for the Banks
or the Bluenose coasts, with the privilege Of
taking along volume Of the Maine poet.
Longfellow's songs of the Sea Kings, for in
spiration, when the fish don't bite and the
Canadian cruisers don't chase Maine is the
place for the lcelanders.

In addition to the possibilities of many
corners" In wheat, coal, hogs and cotton
this year, there Is said to be almost GER
talnty OF a corner" in canned salmon. The
runs Of salmon in Columbia river have been
small this season, SO small that Chicago
man who was on the ground early as usual,
bought up enough of the catch to enable
him to control corner" The failure of
the fish has been very sudden and unac-
;ountable. The destruction has been very
great for several years past, and little regard
has been paid to the laws for securing to the
salmon opportunity for reproduction but it
Is not thought that this accounts wholly for
the disappearance Of the fish. The people of
the Columbia river might visit Maine with
profit and learn of our Fish and Game Com
missioners the story Of the depopulation of
the Penobscot and Kennebec and the long
and expensive task of again populating
those rivers.

The seizure Of the BritS sao,sr Ann.

The seizure Of the Britk o.,.
D.oA, ~ uhe unlSe6 States revenue cutter
iu nusl,l Behring Sea, has aroused
- me Pacific coast, the discussion of
me Western fisheries question. The sealer
was found about a month ago in long 1926,
Lat. 545S. This is nearly midway from Oun-
alaska to Pribyloy, and is about ninety miles
from the nearest land. Alaska, the Aleutian
Islands and the included waters were pur-
chased by this government under the treaty
of 1867. Every right that the Russians pos
sessed was turned over to the United States.
The rights over the seal fisheries were assert
ed and maintained by Russia from the time
her factories were established, and the sur
rounding lands claimed as her dependencies.
The peculiar formation Of the Alaskan coast
with the position of the Aleutian Islands,
make huge inland sea, larger than the Gulf
OF Mexico, even as large as the Mediterrane-
an Sea. Over all this Russia claimed author
ity, and this she turned over to the United
States in the sale Of Alaska In 1867. The
real fisheries Of this sea are very valuable
American monopoly. Last year two British
vessels were seized for trespassing. Then
the question was raised whether the United
States had any authority in those waters out
side of the usualI three-mile limit; that is,
whether Russia had the sovereignty which
she bargained to transfer. The sealers cap
tured last year were released by our govern
ment, and the State Department pursued
rather shutting policy, which tended to con-
vey the idea that the authorities at Washing
ton themselves had doubts. The seizure this
year shows that the internal revenue officers
In Alaskan waters have the same instruc-
tons that they had last year. The attitude
Of the State Department. when the question
of jurisdiction is raised, will show whether
the Washington authorities have come to
any new determination.

Thereafter Robinson annually put up ice

but not for ten years did he muster enough
courage to attempt to sell any. BY that

history OF the ice business in Maine, finds
that the first Ice put up in Portland as a
